About Steyning CofE Primary School

Steyning CofE Primary School is a primary school in Steyning, West Sussex, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 346 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school.

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Steyning CofE Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
